UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. ââ'¬" As a younger sibling, one of the greatest motivational tools you can have is trying to accomplish what your older siblings have done. For Ryan Gallagher, he not only wants to follow his brother's footsteps on Jeffrey Field but use them as motivation to create his own Penn State story.
Ryan's older brother, John played for Lions from 2009-2012. Following in his big brother's footsteps, Ryan explains how he grew up a Nittany Lion fan and dreamed of playing soccer for the university like his brother.
"My brother definitely played a role in my desire to come to Penn State to play soccer," stated Gallagher. "I've been coming to Jeffrey Field since the end of seventh grade so I've been a fan for a long time and it's amazing being a player now."
"I grew up seeing how beautiful the campus was and how great Coach Warming and the coaching staff are so I fell in love with it right away," continued Gallagher.
Currently a redshirt-freshman from Pine Bush, N.Y., Ryan is enjoying his time in State College and playing for the Blue and White.
